When a shipment enters the Inbound process in Canary7, it follows a strict sequence of statuses. All four primary steps are required (with one exception in case of locating failures). This guide outlines each stage and offers tips for monitoring progress using the system logs.
1. 📥 Check-in Pending
What it means:
The receipt has been uploaded, but no location logic or putaway instructions have been applied yet.
Next step:
Once items are Checked-in, the system triggers Locating Rules to determine where each item should be stored.
2. 📍 Locating Pending
What it means:
Goods from the Receipt have been Checked-in and are awaiting the initiation of Putaway Job Execuctio. This will trigger Locating Rules to find a suitable storage location for each item.
Typical locating logic might include:
Consolidate into an existing location with the same SKU
Assign to an available empty location
Manual override by a user (optional setup)
If all Locating Rules fail:
➡️ Status becomes Locating Failed — user intervention is required to resolve.
3. 🧺 Putaway Pending
What it means:
Locations have now been assigned via Locating Rules. The system is waiting for the physical transfer of items from Goods-In to their designated storage locations.
Action required:
Warehouse teams must execute the Putaway Job via Job Execution screens.
Next step:
Once the job is completed, status updates to Closed.
4. ✅ Closed
What it means:
Putaway is complete. The inbound process is finished, and the inventory is now officially live and allocatable in Canary7.
